About Cold Readings

Die Wahrsagerin
Michail Alexandrowitsch Wrubel (1895)
Very often a querent will contact me wanting a reading, but not really know what it is he/she actually wants to know. They have no direct question, no specific quandary; they just know that they want a reading. As a member of various Tarot forums, I have seen this situation to be many a Tarot Reader's nightmare; however, this should really not be the case.

Personally, I feel a cold reading is better for the querent who cannot isolate the actual issue they are experiencing. Not because I wish to "imply that I know more" (as seen in so many definitions of 'cold readings; such as definition below) no, that would be rather
narcissistic, but rather I can bring more to light for the querent doing a 'cold reading' than if they were just to focus on what they think is the major issue, as the cards do put all the issues into perspective.

Cold reading is a set of techniques used by mentalists, psychics, fortune-tellers, mediums and illusionists to imply that the reader knows much more about the person than the reader actually does.

It is however, human nature to feel somewhat convoluted when facing one's own issues, we are prone to turn molehills into major problems and thereby create obstacles that we cannot see past. By having an expert Tarot Reading, these mountains not only become the 'issues' that they are, but obstacles become solutions, and by prioritizing the various issues, one can easily move on to reach their full potential.
